Now, don't get to thinking I'm all hot and bothered for anime babes to the point that I'd touch myself thinking of them. I just admire the way animators got their techniques just right and created a beautiful, sexy goddess from pen/pencil/brush/etc.

Which characters made you say, "Wow, baby!", and which anime?

Pai Thunder from the anime series Dangaio was tan, athletic, and had crazy superstrength. She throws giant boulders at passing ships, and even hefts a huge missile launcher to take down an enemy fighter. Yeah, baby, yeah!

I've always thought that Nova from "Star Blazers" was attractive. All of the characters were stylized, especially the women. Nova was also proficient in what she did, and courageous - even in the face of almost certain death. That's her on this DVD cover, protecting Derek from the villain Desslok.

I like a lot of the design, both characters and ships, from that series.

Yeah, I liked how Leiji Matsumoto was just crazy about eyelashes on his women.. they were super-long and the eyes were wide and flat. Certainly different from the big, shiny eyes you see nowadays in anime.

The character designs on Maburaho were the only thing that really prevented it from being a by-the-book harem show.
